SPR: Nikon 55-200 lens question
I got the camera package, with the 18-55 lens and the 55-200 lens. I've been using the camera with just the 18-55 lens since I got it 2 weeks ago. But then today, I put on the 55-200 lens (haven't tried it out for real yet, since DD is napping ).
My question: do you ever really use the 18-55 lens still if you have the 55-200 lens too? The 55-200 lens just seems so amazing, will I really be using the 18-55 lens much?
Also, the Lens Hood that comes with the 55-200. I'm trying to read more about it, but I'm not quite sure what it is or what it's used for?

I have the 55-200 lens. I got it in addition to the two that came with my camera (D50) - the 28-80 and the 70-300. Honestly, yes, you will use the 18-55 lens a lot. Especially indoors or in smaller spaces. I find that when I have the 55-200 lens on, I can't get those great shots when I am up close. I wish I had gotten the 18-135 mm lens instead. I live and learn.

I agree about the 18-55 lens. I didn't think I would be using it at all but I realized, you can't get those up close shots. I have to say though, I still use the 55-200 more. I wish I could get the 18-200 lens but that's going to have to wait a while.
Also, the lens hood, I put it on but have NO idea what the heck it does!
